In retrospect, wow, what a landmark song.

Now reading along as I listen again, it's amazing how short are the lyrics. So few words.

Streisand performed it like a true master – extending herself almost beyond then back to the softest whisper. Her singing brings out the full impact of the meaning.

And a very powerful meaning indeed.

Any song about memories can become timeless. The melodic impact of Streisand's rendition pins it at the very top.

Oops. Was playing about with the buttons. I did not mean to give you a minus 1... Sorry.
